5 Reasons to walk if you want to lose weight

1. It’s easy!

Just 30 minutes of walking makes a difference in helping you burn calories. You can break the 30 minute session into three ten-minute sessions if you find it easier.

2.  It’s common

Walking is the most common type of exercise among men and women who have lost an average of 29kg and have kept it off for 5,5 years! 

3.  It’s convenient!

You can walk anytime, anywhere, and with anyone! You can walk:

• In the morning, afternoon, or evening.

• Inside or outside in just about any location: your home, office, parks, stores, and neighbourhood.

• By yourself, with your pet, or with someone else.

You can even walk in place while watching TV or talking on the phone.

4.  It’s inexpensive

You don’t have to pay for an expensive gym membership to walk and lose weight. The only equipment you need is a good walking shoe that fits well.

5.  There is a low risk for injury

Walking doesn’t place as much stress on your joints as running or other high-impact exercises; therefore it’s less likely to result in injury.

There are also numerous health benefits of walking. Walking can help you:

• Improve your cholesterol.

• Lower your blood pressure.

• Reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke.
